Miliner was the best cb in the league the last month. Geno was in the top 50% of QBs, and even Winters had a good last game(his first). Now is we can sign Boldin, Tate, Decker, or Macklin, plus draft 2 of the top 10 outside WRs (I think there or nearly 10 big WRs who should have a 2nd round or higher grade this year), plus one more slot guy/returner out of the top 20 which I think arguably will have a 3rd round talent (A few of them should drop into the fifth round or later). Then get us one of the top 5 full sized (6'5" 260lb sub 5.7) TEs plus one with upside in the 3rd or 4th we should be all set. This looks to be a deep draft for our needs, and perfect for the year we have the most picks, and money. As you know, in hindsight, the best receivers/TEs usually come out of the late first, or 2nd rounds. You just need to hit on the right one. I'd love to create a super unit there.

I am hoping that Dee turns into a great player but, I don't agree that he is quite out of the woods, yet. He had the opportunity to defend a great deal of passes, because every single team that we played was targeting him. I would agree that he looked better, in those last two games, than he had for the rest of the season but, it was not like he was shutting the other team down. If a CB makes an interception, it does not mean you forget about everything else that transpired. Maybe, his shoulder had something to do with it but, his tackling skills are non-existent. Like I said, I hope Milliner turns into a monster but, at this point, I wouldn't erect a statue.

Milliner, like Geno, fought through adversity and ended the season strong. Sure, great play from game 1 would be better, but unrealistic. I have hope that both with a solid off-season of hard work and a full complement of OTAs, training camp and pre-season will make the leap to year 2. Winters, unlike the other 2, has to show that he has the physical strength to be a bona fide NFL OG. Hopefully he'll have very heavy competition in camp.

PFF graded Milliner a +8.6 over the final quarter of the season. Considering how lost he looked in the beginning he demonstrated positive consistency toward the end reacting quicker. I realized around week 16 that i stopped expecting completions on balls thrown in his direction.

@harvlis They were targeting him because he was covering the other teams #1s, who were pretty damn good WRs. It was the last 4 weeks, not 2, and he graded out really well in each of those games. He was always a great tackler in college, so I wouldn't be too worried about that. In fact he graded out as 19th in the league from PFF against the run for the year, and had 53 tackles. That's even more impressive if his tackling skills are non existent. Imagine how good he'll be if they teach him how.

Milliner ended strong yes. Geno not so much. Geno underthrows and over throws open receivers. Also continues to throw balls that look like a duck in the wind. I'm not saying he is a bust. In fact a good 2nd round pick.

@Marvel It all depends on how Healthy Cro was this past season and how healthy he will be this season. If his down year was due to injury, and he'll heal 100% over the offseason, Cro's one of the best corners in the league. If he was healthy all year, or he wasn't but his injury isn't going to heal, then he's not.

@jdb7 even if Hill gets better in 2014, we really need an experienced receiver for Geno. The difference between an Eric Decker vs Hill would be enormous. Our offense would be so much more potent with 2 more true pass catchers on the team. I think Hill has to go, even though I do think he will get better.

@BDarc23What should he have done? That was a timing pattern and one of the few passes that Tannehill executed perfectly and it was the best possible call in Cover 0. Very few NFL CBs could've prevented a TD there, without a PI call, and even the great Revis gave up a very similar TD to Moss (?, could've been Welker) in one of the Pats games.

@BDarc23 Rex dialed up an all-out blitz. Milliner reasonably expects the free-runners on that blitz to get there almost immediately, He therefore bites on Wallace's out move, expecting that if Wallace is going to do a double move, Tannehill will not have time to get the ball to him. Tannehill makes a remarkable play as Wallace fakes out, cuts up. Not an horrendous play by Milliner--knowing the defense, his priority was to play the first move.

I would much rather pay a guy like Boldin to come in and be the consistent, steady influence that the group needs. Decker was very hot-and-cold in his time in Denver the past two years, and that's with the best QB ever zipping him bb's.

@BDarc23 I agree that Hill will probably be relegated to the 4th WR spot at this point (with #1 someone we bring in FA, #2 Kerley, #3 Nelson). Still, if I he develops he could earn more playing time. We'll have to wait and see.

@ww85 I don't really think he's done. My whole stance at the time was that he isn't a starter-level player (which was proven true, I would say), and he had asked the team for his release. I think when someone who has poured it out for your franchise like that asks to find a new home, it's the right thing to honor that request.

@Bent Interesting. I was just assuming that since Crabtree was a former top-10 pick and younger that they would try to keep him. I love Boldin, if he ended up on the Team Who Shall Not Be Named I would be devastated.

@ww85 From the figures I found, they have just over $5m in cap space entering next year. I don't have time to look at the likely cuts and all that, but money could be tight for them. Maybe they let Boldin walk with a fully healthy Crabtree for the entire year.

@Brendan I think Boldin would be a terrific pickup as well: 1 year rental. I'd take Decker if he's not as expensive as you think, But if he is a fortune, I'd pass as well. I just cant imagine SF letting Boldin go for minimal $ or him wanting to leave a good situation.

@BDarc23Tannehill passed the ball to a spot and Wallace caught it. Wallace made one move and Milliner didn't have time to react...it was just a great call and execution. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap. Even in Cover 0 situations, a pass like that is hard and it only works when there's an all-out blitz, which would only happen, for the most part, at the goal line. If there's one thing that I'd fault Milliner on is that he has to chuck the WR hard at the LOS to screw up a timing pattern in this situation.

If Wallace/Tannehill made a great play then to get defensive player of the week he should've have made an equally great play to stop it. I've stated this year that I think Milliner will be great next year and that nearly all rookie CBs struggle. There is no doubt that he had a good last couple of games. I just don't get these awards and can only assume it is based on INTs.
